Winfield's spring chop

I waited out tech week to post this (as hard as it was)...
Are there any other HAMBers going to Gene Winfield's chop cl*** on April 29th and 30th 2006 at his shop in CA? I really want to go but I'm not sure I'll get anyone from around here to go, so I just wondered if there would be any familiar faces from the HAMB out there. I would also any appreciate any tips on where to stay, things to see etc. I plan on going out a few days early and staying for a couple days after since I am going all the way out there from Ohio.
Thanks

 

wow, no one else is going...this ought to be good one on one instruction!

 

I was up in Mojave to pic up parts a hamber brought down from Colorado for me, There isn't much to see in that town, just a plane graveyard.

Good luck at the school, hope you find something to do.

 

I'm sure that I will have a great time. It isn't that far from LA right? I will probably hang out at the beach the days before and after and also go to the Petersen to visit a car that used to be in my car before it went on display there. I'm just excited to leave Ohio.....

 

JUST a plane graveyard? As a midwesterner, that sounds pretty damn cool...

 

I agree about the plane graveyard---If you didn't drive out they probably will not let you bring bomber seats back on the plane.

 

I wanted to go, I have 2 tickets to fly anywhere in the states and this would be perfect. I emailed 2 guys from his site trying to find dates and seeing if i could get a spot in the cl***..

Can you just show up and they'll let you in? or is there a waiting list

I went to the last one. It is a bit of a drive to L.A. I wouldn't plan on driving back and forth to Mojave from there much. There is not much to do in Mojave. Gene does have a big clean up at his shop the couple days before. He also has a bunch of projects going on. If you show up early he will let you help out. The nights of the cl***, we went out to dinner with Gene. I am thinking about heading back out again. You need to register for the cl*** by calling the shop. There was about 7 HAMBers there last time. There were a few "girls" in the cl*** last time also. They had a good time. Gene does jump around a bit. He will show you a bunch of stuff in the two days. PM for my contact info, if you want some hotel numbers and more detail....I have the new flier for the cl***. Too much to type. EVILT... Jason.

 

the date is April 29 and 30th at his shop in Mojave. I have the number in my shop, I'll post it for you later today or tomorrow. I think it would really be a good time.

 

I'm very sure Gene would LOVE it!

 

If you want to go hang out at the beach in bikinis I'm cool with that, but I dont think you want to see me in a bikini. That would be some scarry ****.


Seriously, good luck on the cl***. I'm going to try to get in some cl***es next year when my life settles down some.

 

had the pleasure of flying from Columbus to LAX with Gene last sept after the Rebal Run, I have some rapid rewards I just might go, he invited me to his shop when ever I'm out there so this might be the opportunity

 

I am definitely up for some down time doing that. I haven't been out to CA for awhile and the east coast ocean just isn't quite the same. plus you can't really surf good anywhere out here. I guess I figured I would make it into a little mini vacation, with my welding helmet as my carry on
